Formula & Methodology
The calculator uses polynomial long division to simplify expressions. It divides the highest degree term by the leading coefficient, then multiplies the result by the next term, and repeats the process until all terms are simplified.
Real-World Examples
Example 1
Expression: 3x4 + 6x3 – 9x2 + 12x – 15
Simplified: 3x4 + 3x3 – 3x2 + 3x – 5
Example 2
Expression: 2x5 – 10x3 + 12x – 18
Simplified: 2x5 – 5x3 + 6x – 9
